Addington Extra Race 3

SPRINGSTON HOTEL NZ CUP (GROUP 1) HEAT 3

Prize Money: $7,727

OPAWA STACY (6) is a promising dog in the frame at 21 of 61 starts including 21 wins and was a last start winner (30.81) over 527m at Manukau. Form at the trip sound including 13 wins. Has a good overall strike-rate and can find the frame here. WINGATUI WIZARD (4) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by 3.5 lengths at Ascot Park in a handy 26.45 beating Molly Rose. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Has definite claims. LET HIM COOK (3) is looking to continue his winning ways off a speedy 26.07 success latest. One of the chances in an even line-up. Something for the Multiples: HOMEBUSH SIMBA (7)

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Ascot Park over 457m in 26.45 last start, beating Molly Rose. Most reliable when jumping from this box. Leading chance.

Missed the frame latest (30.60) when fifth over 525m at this track in a Class 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Prepared to risk this time.

Recorded a 3.5 lengths win (30.81) in a Class 5 last time at Manukau. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from six starts. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last four starts. Last time out finished 2nd in a Class 4/5 on October 22 over 457m at Ascot Park behind Let Him Cook beaten 7 lengths (26.42). Can't recommend him in this.

Missed the frame latest (38.83) when fifth over 660m at Manawatu in a Class 1/2. Has four successes and four minors from 13 starts from box 8. Looks one of the chances.
